whiteice78 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Dear all.I am looking to buy a fridge of ard 500L. Thing is, I fell in love with a Samsung 2 dr side by side fridge. However, my dad keeps telling me that I should get a japanese brand. Which I have shortlisted a Hitachi model as my 2nd choice. He says they are more energy efficient and won't give problems. However, I really love the samsung fridge due to the colour and design. (Some may find it riduculous). Are japanese fridges really more energy efficient than koreans? Confused...
